Life's a Beach....sometimes...even on a Monday

I returned to my favorite beach hang out at the Annenberg Beach House for a walk on the beach, lunch and view of the art gallery.  I was joined by pelicans, a paddle boarder, a swimmer...burr... and mothers with their young children at play. 

The gallery has a small show called "Transmutations."  I viewed the works of tree L.A. based artist "working in decidedly disparate media...with a shared vision of capturing visceral aesthetics from observing life's ever-changing elements.

Luke Rothschild is a visual artist and composer.  He uses the process of decay in the natural world to create his own visual effects just as "rusty metal objects" which become subjects of his painting.  He is a part of a trio that includes his wife who founded String Theory - a performance ensemble combining multiple mediums such as site-specific sonic sculpture installations, choreography, dance, original music and projections.

Alexix Manya Spraic is an award-winning narrative and documentary filmmaker.  He work on display was a film of black ink floating on water that creates a "dance" that is "beautifully moving."

Ondy Sweetman is a photographer who has been working with 35mm film and shows studies of reflective surfaces.

Beautiful...isn't it.

That's not me.
